  • Workflow components can be moved into custom groups
  • Workflow components can be reset to their default group
  • The "Manage Custom Groups" dialog allows users to organize their user-defined groups, especially when components are not available on the network
  • Empty groups can be hidden in the palette
  • Additional component information can be displayed in a dedicated dialog
  • A filter mechanism enables the search for components
  • The component help (F1) can be opened directly from the palette
